Dear list,
Thank you for all your suggestions. I have checked out those websites
and others and still the translation of these terms escape me.
The language is Hungarian. The date of the record is 1846.
The column heading is E~letneme's lakhelye on the record copy I have. On
the website for "Church Record Translations English Hungatian Latin
Slovak" lakhelye is close to the term lakhely�k meaning location or
residence. I don't see anything close to E~letneme. In this column are
listed Towns and occupations. I have translated some. Still the
following I haven't been able to find. Por~, por~no, por~ legony.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Dorothy

You request causes of death, extracted as accurately as possible.
That is not possible because medical terms used in church records are
not necessarily those used today by M.D.s and you are not using Magyar
diacritic letters.

Dorothy,

I don't understand what language you have ?
Just like Slovak and Slavic languages which use diacritic letters,
Magyar also uses diacritics.
If por , por no, and por legeny are in some language I don't recognize
the words ?
Is the word actually spelled "por" ?
az o" means his
Perhaps archaic Magyar ?
in Magyar
peasant, farm worker, farmer, laborer is paraszt or földmu"ves
no" is female, wife, woman
legény is young man,lad
fia means son , son of

Frank,
The document is a photocopy of baptismal, marriage and death records for
Frydman, Szepes in 1846.
They are spelled like this
Por~
Por~no
Por~ legony
There are other terms in the same column
Zseller~
Zseller~no
So that would be
Tenant farmer
Tenant farmers wife
Yes?
I believe the language is Hungarian as I can pick out words from the
heading of the columns from the website that translates headings from
Hungarian, Latin and Slovak church records. The spellings for most of
the words are close, some are complely different. Would the language in
1846 be archaic Magyar? Could it be a colloquial instead of formal form
of the language or a dialect maybe?
